Are you seeing a therapist to explore your loneliness?

I am very much like you. I spend weekends inside and alone. I am in therapy and lately the loneliness is causing more pain than ever, yet I feel unable to do what I need to do: the only way to alleviate being alone is to not be alone. I look out my window and I feel like there is no place 'out there' for me. But now at least I have shifted from not wanting to be able to go and meet people, to wanting to. I keep looking for a group of some kind - book club, class, etc. that I would be able to do and would hope to make a friend or two by doing.
